There are several ways to achieve this, as *Authelia* runs as a daemon. We do not provide specific examples for running
*Authelia* as a service excluding the [systemd unit](#systemd) files.

## Get started

It's __*strongly recommended*__ that users setting up *Authelia* for the first time take a look at our
[Get started](../prologue/get-started.md) guide. This takes you through various steps which are essential to
bootstrapping *Authelia*.

## systemd

We publish two example [systemd] unit files:

* {{< github-link path="authelia.service" >}}
* {{< github-link path="authelia@.service" >}}

## Arch Linux

In addition to the [binaries](#binaries) we publish, we also publish an
[AUR Package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/authelia).

## Debian

We publish `.deb` packages with our [releases] which can be installed
on most Debian based operating systems.

### APT Repository

In addition to the `.deb` packages we also have an [APT Repository](https://apt.authelia.com).

## Nix

Using the Nix package manager Authelia is available via the `https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable` channel.

```shell
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --update
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.authelia
```

## FreeBSD

In addition to the [binaries](#binaries) we publish, [FreshPorts](https://www.freshports.org/www/authelia/) offer a
package.

We publish an [rc.d](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/rc-scripting/) service script file:

* {{< github-link path="authelia-fb-rc.d" >}}

## Binaries

We publish binaries with our [releases] which can be installed on many operating systems.
